Chelation

Chelation is the process of adding something to your body that absorbs and/or adsorbs toxins and then is flushed out in your urine. Use caution here to make sure that any chelators you use only remove toxins and not trace elements that your body needs to function.

CHELATION: HARNESSING AND ENHANCING HEAVY METAL DETOXIFICATION--A REVIEW

Toxic metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are ubiquitous, have no beneficial role in human homeostasis, and contribute to noncommunicable chronic diseases. While novel drug targets for chronic disease are eagerly sought, potentially helpful agents that aid in detoxification of toxic elements, chelators, have largely been restricted to overt acute poisoning. Chelation, that is multiple coordination bonds between organic molecules and metals, is very common in the body and at the heart of enzymes with a metal cofactor such as copper or zinc.

POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF NUTRACEUTICALS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SOME NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS IN NIGERIAN CHILDREN

In all the cases managed at the Brain Foundation described in this report, we added nutraceutical agents to the therapy of the children. These cases suggest beneficial effects in these children and we believe the use of nutraceuticals described deserves further evaluation nationwide. The cases point to the probable efficacy of nutraceuticals in the management of the described neurodevelopmental disorders in children. In 5 of the 9 cases the nutraceuticals included zeolite.
